If that person has a reputation for unsubstantiated claims or vague fluffy headline grabbers, we do want to know, but we would like specific links to prior works or reviews so we can judge their actual trollativity level ourselves.
I remember reading a thought experiment awhile back (it was in the context of a discussion on Multiverse theory) about what it would look like for beings in a two dimensional universe when a three dimensional sphere intersected their two dimensional reality (essentially nothing, followed by a point, followed by a circle that first expands then contracts, then a point, then nothing). I couldn't help but wonder if this same sort of construct could explain what's happening in both quantum mechanics - particles popping into and out of existence are in reality just moving along an extra dimension that is not accessible to us (our entire reality is a single point on that dimension), and general relativity - spacetime is warping "into" that other dimension (think about the analogy of gravity where a bowling ball distorts the surface of a trampoline, there has to be one additional dimension beyond the trampoline surface for it to warp into). Of course, I'm probably way off base and just thinking nonsense.
